Michele has been writing a weekly column for The Christchurch Press since 2008 and relishes the opportunity to comment on current social issues. She is also a frequent freelance contributor to several national magazines.

In 2013 she had a regular role in the final series of the TVNZ drama, “Go Girls”, playing Miriam Hirsch – mother of Levi and foster mother to Ted and Bennie, the lead characters.

Michele is the voice of Mary-Jane Staines – and a number of other characters - on TVNZ's animated children's series, "Staines Down Drains".

Michele’s international experience as a stand-up comedian is constantly growing with recent shows in Las Vegas, San Francisco, Vancouver, Victoria and Toronto. She has performed at comedy festivals in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Melbourne and Adelaide; and entertained NZ and international troops in East Timor.

Michele first came to NZ’s attention more than 20 years ago as the award-winning host of What Now, the children’s TV show which aired live for two hours each week, and The Video Dispatch, a current affairs programme aimed at youth but, according to legend, was the “must-see TV show” for NZ’s politicians.
